iADT Proposal Update Posted (T10/07-469r8)

I have just posted the latest revision of the iADT proposal:

URL: http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.07/07-469r8.pdf

I decided not to attempt to address any of the questions raised by Kevin Butt in IBM's T10/08-332r0, such as:

Support for short-lived connections, i.e., not having connection loss cause I_T nexus loss.
Specifying what to do if a connection cannot be established.
Relevance of the Sense_a signal.
Removing all references to Ethernet.
Specifying signals to facilitate locating the drive in a library.

These will require discussion and a consensus of the group. I request that everyone review Kevin's presentation and be prepared to discuss the above points (and any that I may have missed).

Thanks,

Paul
